Yes, using Whisper running on banana.dev :)
Do I understand correctly banana pricing is that it costs $1.87 per hour, so the hour of audio with large model costs you about $1? Thats probably a bit too expensive compared to cloud providers.

#53Quick feedback: it seems you're using fuzzy search, which may or may not be what the user expects. For example, searching for "FPGA" also matches "figa", "fuga", "Fagan", "FPNA", "PGA" (tour), and a bunch of other irrelevant terms. Using quotes to indicate I'm looking for an exact match didn't help.

also adding https://steno.ai to the list
Wow, how'd you manage to get interviews split into different speakers?
This is a great library for determining which speaker is speaking during each time in an audio file (this is called speaker diarization); I imagine they used it or something like it. Works really well out of the box!

#55Because these transcripts are probably derivative works.

#57Here's my crack at a podcast transcription website: https://podscription.app I made this while unemployed and the skills I learned from making it helped me land my new job!
Any chance you'd be open to sharing source? Also, curious if you used any tuning on Whisper to get transcription more accurate?

#58Seems like Chapo Trap House and The Adam Friedland Show are inexplicably unrepresented not only here but on other similar webapps linked elsewhere in this thread... Strange, considering that those are two incredibly popular podcasts, at least by the metric of Patreon revenue.

#59This is a really interesting project with a lot of potential. If I were a sponsor looking for a podcast I would want my search process to look something like this: - Search for a term relevant to my line of business - See a list of podcasts ordered by % of utterances which contain my key phrase throughout their last N episodes - Annotation of how many listeners each podcast had in last N episodes
If you could identify podcasts that often talk about a domain more broadly, you'll have a higher hit rate and overall a better audience fit.

#60I had this problem of vaguely remembering something on the podcast that I listen to, and I wanted to find it by keywords. Using podtext.ai I was able to do it. So I consider it solved
